**Sixteen proposal or editorial packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **17:18 Jerusalem time**: [two trips with the same equipment and different earned upgrades](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Upgrade%20Choices), including a useful hybrid and a reach-versus-contacts trade. Systems has started a scene about recognizing one former patient within an existing horde and bringing that knowledge home. The separate short-rescue choice remains open.

The [former-patient scene](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hospital%20Story%20Directions) was submitted at **17:38** and is under independent review. It connects a person in the crowd to an optional conversation with Ivo. The separate short-rescue choice remains open.
Start with [The Game](/Hold%20The%20Flood/The%20Game), continue through [three expeditions into the observation ward](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Expedition%20Proposal), then [Coming Home](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Coming%20Home) and [Discovery in a Changing Station](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Connecting%20The%20Station). For combat, follow [Hordes and Builds](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hordes%20and%20Builds) into [Three Ways to Break a Horde](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Build%20Comparison).

Read the scene in [Hordes and Builds](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hordes%20and%20Builds), with placement in [Moving Scan Expedition](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Moving%20Scan%20Expedition). Its added rail, viewing bay, bridge and receiver make a fourteenth proposed major mechanism; physical fit and fun remain untested. The new Receiver Vault proposal tackles a different risk: a later expedition must deliver growing power and a horde climax before its quiet discovery. It uses the existing vault rooms, enemies and machinery; the new reward opportunity remains a proposal. Earlier rescue and station-completion comparisons are ready for owner reaction.

| Reviewed Receiver Vault expedition | **Completed 16:30** | Earlier than revised 17:15 target | A complete later expedition, ordinary growth and a major transformation used during the fight, a meaningful climax and a discovery that changes the next trip; one critique and response |
| Readable enemy guide | **Completed 16:46** | Earlier than revised 17:15 target | The nine creatures, their horde roles and two setpieces are explained through what the player sees, chooses and overcomes, with actual behaviors retained through review |
| Divergent upgrade choices | **Completed 17:18** | Earlier than revised 18:00 target | The same equipment supports two different earned growth paths, a useful hybrid and understandable choices with costs; one critique and response |

The patient-scene estimate has moderate-to-low confidence because preserving one identity across renewed expeditions may require a simpler treatment. Other near-term estimates have moderate confidence. The full-wiki estimate has low confidence. The campaign date has very low confidence and remains a planning allowance pending a fresh content estimate. None promises development, validated fun or the desired number of playable hours; those require a separately authorized phase.

The pre-pause targets were 15 September for the readable wiki and 17 November for detailed campaign design. Five paused calendar days and the outside review's core-loop findings moved those dates. F2.27 records the upgrade comparison completed at 17:18 after one critique and response, ahead of its revised 18:00 target. The next assignment began at 17:21 and addresses the human meaning of an existing horde encounter. Its allowance is 60–120 minutes for a draft plus review, response and integration; a record-only comparison is available if the recognition scene demands too much new state. The overall dates remain unchanged because broader experience coverage, supporting clarity and consequential creative choices still need work. Earlier estimates and reasons remain in revision history and the forecast checkpoint.

The pre-pause targets were 15 September for the readable wiki and 17 November for detailed campaign design. Five paused calendar days and the outside review's core-loop findings moved those dates. F2.28 records the patient scene submitted at 17:38, ahead of the 18:50 draft target. Its independent review began at 17:40, so the reviewed target moves from 20:00 to 18:50, with allowance for one response and integration. The review is checking the human dialogue, what the player can actually know and the costs of a one-time identity within renewed crowds. The simpler record-only comparison remains available. The overall dates remain unchanged because broader experience coverage, supporting clarity and consequential creative choices still need work. Earlier estimates and reasons remain in revision history and the forecast checkpoint.
